[Murray]

Likewise on the time & energy (sorry) but how about a nice happy 'I'm really looking forward to Copenhagen - its gonna kick ass and you should all join us' piece? As matt said this would just bump the police story off the front page

 

I definitely agree with Jon - no tampering with history.

If someone wrote a blog, that would knock it off the front page! - perhaps best of all would be a blog piece detailing what we now know about what happened!

I don't have the energy, time, or knowledge to do this - sorry

I have moderately strong reservations about taking it down. It means we
are doing exactly the same propaganda tricks that the MET were recently
accused of when they issued an instruction that none of their
publications could included pictures of officers without ID numbers
showing. I also don't think that it's in the spirit of a blog, in that
blog posts are written at a given time based on the information
available at that time.

Ideally, we would update the blog post with new information. I know
there is sensitivity about not ruining the Guardian story, but can
anyone think of a way around that for now? (Maybe "It has become clear
that this claim was falsified. A press release will be issued soon, when
we have all the information available.")

I've copied in the media list as this is relevant to them.
